I don't.  In fact, I think by having fans who demanded a number from WOTC and Paizo not speaking out about it then, and then teasing out a range of numbers when their product comes out rather than offering a firm number, they are causing much more of a stir than they would if they just released the number. Seriously, why would, say, them announcing 35,000 rather than them saying "between 10,000 and 50,000" cause more of a stir?I'm still waiting for anyone to offer an actual good reason for not announcing a firm number for the print run.  So far, most answers seem to be "because it's not traditionally done".  How is that a good answer?And again, why does asking this question bother people, and why would it take away from enjoyment of the news itself?</blockquote>
